Well, it's been quite the year and I have no good excuse as to my lack of content on this blog. I've been overwhelmed by "real" life, so my online "life" has taken a back seat. I did create a little something for my facebook page today, so I thought I would share it here. I really miss photography and photo editing and need to make it a priority once again. I've been consumed with trying to get my home organized so I can function better as a wife and mother. It's become quite obvious to me that when my home is a chaotic mess because things don't have a "home" or place to go they clutter up the living spaces where my family should be able to relax and enjoy one another. I didn't realize just how out of hand the stuff had become until after Christmas when I felt I was still behind on housework from the autumn harvest. With garden season prep work in full swing in my home things are worse than ever. We are still dealing with cold temps and snow some days (like today), and beautiful spring-like days on others (like a couple of days ago). Trying to juggle winter and spring clothing, shoes, and other items has really overwhelmed our small-ish space. I'm right in the middle of a major purging effort of my office, children's clothing (8 large totes worth), and basement storage area. The office is almost completed (just the dreaded bills and receipts from last year to sort through), and the basement is reorganized and ready for ripping into the boxes and totes to see what stays and what goes. The big decision is whether or not to let go of the baby gear. A big part of me thinks we're done, and if it so happens we're not, we start from scratch. This is always the hardest part of moving forward, knowing what to let go of....
